ROLLA, MO- The Miners faced a rough setback tonight, falling 2-0 to the Bulldogs of Truman State.

TSU got things rolling less than six minutes into play when Hanna Burke found Chance Douglass in the box who struck a shot past S&T goalkeeper, Kristin Steins (Ballwin, Mo./Parkway South).

Just 30 seconds later, it was Douglass again who found the back of the net to put the Miners down 2-0 early.

Despite the early deficit, S&T recorded four shots in the opening half; Courtney Pyrtle (Foristell, Mo./Timberland) sent one into the box off a Bulldog foul that just missed over the top while Paige Jackson (St. Louis, MO/Incarnate Word Academy) and Kayla Foster (Sand Springs, Okla./Charles Page) (2) both got shots off.

While the Miners held the Bulldogs scoreless in the second half, S&T's offense was halted; one shot, taken by Pyrtle in the 70' of play was the only shot they got off in the final 45 minutes.

Kristin Steins (Ballwin, Mo./Parkway South), who played the entire 90 minutes, recorded seven saves tonight, bringing her season total to 61.

The Miners (4-6-2; 4-5-1 GLVC) will play in their final home game of the season on Sunday afternoon when they host the Hawks of Quincy University.
